Your pictures are really too small for me to make out any details but I do have an answer for this latest question.

The 30 inch clearance rule is from any side. It appears that the panel in question is up against the siding on the right-hand side so that would mean measuring from that siding 30 inches left. It also appears that the A/C vent (or whatever it is) IS within this 30 inch clearance space. The 30 inch clear space has been in the National Electrical Code for many decades so that vent should never have been installed there to begin with. In other words it has ALWAYS been in violation of the NEC.
